Oh yes, regarding entertainments inside the barn... although fire isn't an option, I do have the glowing juggling balls which you've seen in the flesh. so I can at least do a bit of juggling indoors if you think that would be good. Also, I'm working on a way to attach those balls onto chains to use as poi, I've seen them used that way by other people and it looks pretty good in the dark. Depends how much room there is in the barn of course.
Stage size...hem several options here...ranging from my scaff tower.6 ft x 4 ft to " stage deck ", any multiple of 1220 mm x 2400 mm, the logistics of getting you " elevated " is not really a problem either way.
er re " party people " only interested in people you can vouch for, security is a factor along with my reputation to a whole new bunch of potential clients, who also take security seriously.
Yup juggling is good, well great really, but don't want you to be under pressure to entertain all night, which is why I was asking who else you might know....
From memory the second set of doors to the barn have quite a dramatic view, am contemplating two higher platforms " in the distance " would make great picture from inside the barn...( there is a quad bike you can use to get to them ) 9 might be kewl to shoot the laser from a " beyond point to encapsulate you both, will check logistics of power supply )
Yeah understand no handrails on platforms...will mark edge of platforms somehow... ( Stage deck is black with white sprayed border around edge )
Talking to fire safety guys next week about this project ( I only have enough fire fighting equip for my own gear ) do you want a couple of foam or gas extinguishers for your " play station s " ) ( Suggest 1 x 8kg Blue + 1 x Blanket )
If " FrozenMist " is available, would be good to get him down to take some photo's for " your/ our use " I don't know any other photographers ?
The tower will be too small to be safe, I'm pretty sure, so we'll want to make something out of the decking. White edging sounds good.
I'm happy to juggle some while I'm wandering around... like I said, we'll not be playing continuously because people will get too used to it, but we'll fire up or do something interesting occasionally throughout the event. It's fun to get noticed :)
Higher platforms for later in the night are fine by me as long as we figure out a way to get me up onto them :)
Fire blankets are a must - I'd say two, one tied to a corner of each platform, because when your hair catches light you really want to find the thing quickly :) I'm not familiar with types of extinguisher, so I'll take your advice there. Usually if you light yourself with poi, you drop and roll, but that won't do much good on a wooden platform. A big container of water to drop the firetoys in if they get unruly would probably be a good thing to have around too, just in case.
I've emailed our friendly photographer with a link to this thread to ask if he's interested. I do know a couple of other photographers, do you want me to ask them as well?

Date: 2004-11-10 11:32 am (UTC)Will try and liberate some fire blankets, as the hire compnay charges for them as a sale if you take them out the sealed wrapping.
er yup photographer, fine, but only if free really, was more for mine and your benefit really.
